Parker Players Theater Company

Parker Players Theater Company (PPTC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit professional theater company based in Barrington, dedicated to producing intimate, artist-driven work that invites audiences into the heart of the story. Founded on the belief that theater is a shared act of connection, PPTC creates immersive productions that bridge the distance between artist and audience, reminding us why live storytelling matters. Rooted in Barrington yet inspired by Chicago’s vibrant theater tradition, PPTC has become a cultural home for artists and audiences seeking bold, thoughtful, meticulously crafted productions. Our work spans classic plays, contemporary dramas, sharp comedies, and staged readings, each selected for its emotional resonance, artistic rigor, and ability to spark conversation. PPTC’s productions are intentionally designed for intimacy. In our flexible black-box venue, audiences experience theater at close range, where every silence, glance, and shift in energy becomes palpable. This proximity creates a uniquely immediate experience—one rarely found in larger commercial venues—and allows audiences to feel fully immersed in the world of each production. What makes Parker Players unique is our uncompromising commitment to quality and connection. We collaborate with accomplished Chicago-area directors, actors, designers, and technicians while cultivating local artistic talent. Our company values fearless storytelling, meticulous craftsmanship, and the transformative power of gathering together in shared space. At Parker Players Theater Company, theater is more than entertainment. It is a communal experience that challenges, delights, and connects us. Our invitation is simple: experience the connection.

Move to New Zealand: Live Seminar with a Licensed NZ Immigration Adviser
Thinking about moving to New Zealand? For the first time ever, a licensed New Zealand immigration adviser is coming to the Midwest to answer your questions face-to-face.
I'm Tara Hulbert, founder of KiwiAmericans. In 2013 my husband and I moved our four kids from Wisconsin to New Zealand, and I've since helped hundreds of American families make the same move. On October 10, I'm bringing Paul — a licensed NZ immigration adviser — to Schaumburg so you can walk out knowing whether you qualify and what it would actually take, instead of spending months guessing online.
Schedule 
9:45 AM — Doors open 
10:00 AM — Move to New Zealand Seminar 
11:00 AM — Live Q&amp;A 
11:30 AM — VIP private chat with Paul 
12:00 PM — Depart
Who it's for: Anyone seriously curious about moving to New Zealand — families, professionals, teachers, nurses, tradespeople, retirees, and anyone who's been wondering "could we actually do this?"

Only 95 seats. Register at the link below.

KED at Home

<h2>Moody Fall Florals, with Fleur + Form</h2>
Take home a one-of-a-kind arrangement, composed by your own hands under the guidance of a floral artist whose client list includes Ferrari, Burberry, and Bvlgari.
Surrounded by KED's curated home décor, you'll craft and take home a high-end arrangement built for the season — think deep, moody stems, unexpected textures, and blooms that feel like October rather than an everyday bouquet.
Guided live by Promiti Prosun, founder of Fleur + Form, you'll learn the techniques behind elevated floral design: how texture, movement, and color come together into something that looks composed, not just assembled. Enjoy an intimate evening that opens with shopping, small bites, and conversation before the hands-on work begins — beauty and craft, in equal measure.
&nbsp;Together, we’ll cover: 
<ul><li>Selecting and preparing premium blooms</li><li>Color balance, form, and composition techniques</li><li>Designing with movement and negative space</li><li>Insider tips for long-lasting arrangements</li></ul>
📍 Location: KED at Home – Barrington, IL 📅 Date: Thursday, October 22 — arrive 5:30 p.m., hands-on workshop 6:00–8:00 p.m. 💰 Ticket: $175&nbsp; 🍂What's included: 
<ul><li>Guidance to create one elevated arrangement</li><li>All materials provided, including premium fresh blooms and tools</li><li>High-end vase</li><li>1.5-2 hours of guidance</li><li>A selection of small bites with alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages</li></ul>
Seats are limited — reserve your spot and bring moody fall florals home.
Attendees will receive 10% off their entire purchase of items in the KED at Home Boutique. Shop our fall edit and holiday gifts.
